Rendering Video and Audio

chrisbogy wrote on 8/19/2002, 6:01 PM

I have a video project that I rendered to MPEG 2 using the Main Concept plugin, now the customer wants some of the music changed. What I have done is, edited the new music for the program using Sound Forge 6.0, then I saved it as an MPEG file rather than an WAV. What I want to do now is join the MPEG audio file with the MPEG 2 video file using Vegas 3.0.
The problem I'm having is I have to re-render the project, this is 6 hours I would not like to waste. Is there no way to just join these files together (is that called muxing?) without having to re-render all over from scratch?
The video is MPEG2 CBR 4500, I also rendered the audio at the same bit rate.

Thanks

Chris

One solution is to get the free TMPGENC MPEG2 encoder and use it to de-multiplex the existing file and then multiplex the new audio. These functions can be accessed under "File" > "MPEG Tools."

You may be able to replace the audio inside the DVD authoring tool, no other apps needed. Any idea what DVD authoring tool is being used?

I'll try the TMPEG thing.

I'm using Ulead's DVD Work Shop to do the authoring. This is not possible with that software, it doesn't even take elementary streams! Other than that, good software.

Thanks for the help!!!
